Interior Design
Curriculum in Interior Design
The Curriculum in Interior Design leads to a 128 credit undergraduate Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design including a 30 credit Core Design Program.
Admission into the professional program depends upon available resources and is subject to the approval of a faculty committee at the completion of the Core Design Program. Applicants are reviewed on the basis of academic performance, a portfolio of original work, and a written essay.
A 34 graduate credit program is offered leading to the master of arts, for students planning to undertake professional or design research-orientated pursuits (NOTE: Applicants without a previous undergraduate degree in interior design may be required to complete up to 40 additional credits of deficiency work).
A 60 graduate credit post-professional graduate program is also offered leading to the degree master of fine arts.
For more complete graduate program descriptions see Graduate Study under Interior Design in the Courses and Programs section.
Consideration for admission into the undergraduate Interior Design curriculum requires completion of the 30 credit Core Design Program, including the following courses:
